Our Story

An expression.
A heritage.

« Mooi Loop »

In South Africa, you don't simply say goodbye. You wish for the other person's path to be beautiful, free of obstacles. It is a blessing, a wish for safety and kindness.

This expression, our grandfather would repeat it at every parting. When he passed away, these words became much more than a memory. They became a mission.

Coetzer Laufs, born and raised in South Africa. François Schempers, born and raised in France. We are cousins. Distance never separated us; it allowed us to merge two cultures, two perspectives, two crafts.

Mooiloop Hout is our tribute to our grandfather. It is also a promise that each table will make a beautiful journey, from the forests of South Africa to your home.
